Sister genus of Brachyuromys according to phylogenetic interpretation of mitochondrial DNA sequences (Jansa et al., 1999). Ellerman (1941, 1949) accepted audeberti and lambertoni as species as described, but F. Petter (1972c, 1975a) arranged them as subspecies of N. rufus, synonymies observed in systematic checklists (Corbet and H...
